I have almost a whole box of cherrios and nobody is eating them. I wondered if I could use them in the place of whole grain cereal to make cookies? I hate to waste them, but hate to ruin the recipe for my cookies. When I make them I use the food processor to grind up the other cereal, so I thought I could probably grind these too. What do you all think?

It's a breakfast cookie that is in the sneaky chef book. It is full of good ingredients. I probably would decrease the sugar although there's not much of it in the recipe. I might make it tomorrow and see how it turns out. I hate to not use that big box of cereal for something. Thought my gchildren would like it but they don't seem to.

if you got kids.........hand them some thin yarn and let them make necklaces with them.....wrap the yarn ends with some tape and let them have at it with stringing the cheerios on........I promise you (as a former kindergarten/early childhood/ elementary teacher they will be eaten up in no time.........bon apetit petit .........:)

i had the same problem but mainly due to the fact that i tried to get back into cereal mornings but i am just a eggs and bacon kinda guy lol
i used up my box by covering them with a somewhat chex mix coating, i kept it simple and just used an oil/sugar coating and baked them for about an hour roughly at 225 and then sprinkled them with salt immediately when they came out and they were a perfect snack food.

not sure on the exact measurements for the coating but i think it was around 1T oil and sugar per C of cereal...

if anything at all throw it on the ground and give the outside wildlife a multi-grain treat lol
